An arch decorated with black and gold balloons provided a backdrop.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dean Tina Freiburger congratulated the new alumni, noting that many of them were heading into helping professions as teachers, school psychologists, social workers, librarians, information sciences professionals and police officers. The recognition ceremony gave students and families a chance to celebrate in a smaller setting than the Sunday commencement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the students took the opportunity to say a few words of thanks to parents, spouses, children, mentors and teachers who helped them reach their goals. One young man noted that he was available for work now that he\u2019s finished. A number of students noted that they were the first-generation in their family to complete a college degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am one of only eight percent of Latinas who has earned a master\u2019s degree,\u201d said Thelmy Maldonado, who earned her master\u2019s degree in social work. She is a school social worker in the Milwaukee Public Schools, and appreciated the flexibility the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare gave her in completing her master\u2019s degree, she said. Her parents, 8-year-old brother, and two friends joined her in the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-slider uwm-p-slider--arrows-outside uwm-p-slider--dots-outside\"><div class=\"uwm-p-slider--base\"><figure class=\"uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2023\/12\/ccep-winter-ceremony-1-750x500-1.jpg\" alt=\"Leanne Evans, associate professor of teaching and learning (third from left) with Silvey Anderson, Cassidy Feyen, Alissa Breen, and Anna Callahan.\" title=\"Leanne Evans, associate professor of teaching and learning (third from left) with Silvey Anderson, Cassidy Feyen, Alissa Breen, and Anna Callahan.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>Leanne Evans, associate professor of teaching and learning (third from left) with Silvey Anderson, Cassidy Feyen, Alissa Breen, and Anna Callahan.<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2023\/12\/ccep-winter-ceremony-5-750x500-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ang\u00e9l Xavier (holding UWM Grad sign) who earned a degree in community engagement and education, with fianc\u00e9e at left and friends.\" title=\"Ang\u00e9l Xavier (holding UWM Grad sign) who earned a degree in community engagement and education, with fianc\u00e9e at left and friends. \" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>Ang\u00e9l Xavier (holding UWM Grad sign) who earned a degree in community engagement and education, with fianc\u00e9e at left and friends. <\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2023\/12\/ccep-winter-ceremony-8-750x500-1.jpg\" alt=\"School of Education graduates at the celebration event.\" title=\"School of Education graduates at the celebration event.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>School of Education graduates at the celebration event.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first-ever graduating class from the College of Community Engagement and Professions was honored at a recognition ceremony on Friday evening, Dec. 15.&nbsp;&nbsp; The College, which includes the Schools of Education and Information Studies and the Helen Bader School of &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":8236,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
